Noel had also mentioned that John had abandoned Cordy, so she would be emotionally vulnerable right now. If Kyle took the initiative, it was possible that Cordy would let go of their past prejudices. Noel also said to ignore her feelings, as it was more important to get Jessop Corp to pass these difficult times first and foremost.

Noel truly believed that their relationship was rock solid and stable.

Her determination moved Kyle deeply, and he was glad he had such a loving woman by his side.

"It isn't that easy to handle Cordy," Kyle replied, then proceeded to tell Noel exactly what had happened.

Noel sneered after hearing the whole story. She knew Cordy all too well. Even if Kyle knelt on the ground or died before her, Cordy would remain unmoved.

The woman wanted Kyle to bring about his own destruction.

"It should just be a matter of time. You hurt my sister so much before this, so it's only natural that she had her guard up," Noel assured him.

"But I can't wait that long. I h

    Even after Cordy said that, silence remained in the car. John acted as if he hadn’t heard any of Cordy's words. He kept his eyes firmly on the road, not looking away.Cordy shoved down the turbulent emotions swirling angrily inside her. As calmly as she could, she continued, "I have an important meeting early tomorrow morning, and it's already very late right now.""I know," John replied.Cordy waited a long time after he replied, but John didn't speak again.She bit her lip, frustrated.Since he wasn't going to say anything else, she leaned back in her seat and stared out the car window at the night scenery once more.Soon, they arrived at North Garden's underground car park. Cordy unbuckled her seat belt but remained seated. She turned to John and said, "Go ahead."Perhaps John couldn't multitask while driving and needed to focus on the road. That was fine, because Cordy had no intentions of being careless with her life."It's too late now. Go back home and get some rest. I

    "Are the feelings between us...so fragile?" John asked."There aren't any feelings to talk about between us right now," Cordy shot back coldly. "Have you forgotten, Mr. Levine? Back then, I promised to try out this relationship and see if it would work. Clearly, this isn't going too well.""If I said I wouldn't involve you in my engagement with Jessica, would you be willing to wait for me?""No," Cordy refused without hesitation."Am I that unworthy of your trust?" John said, clenching his fist tightly as his eyes tinged scarlet."Yes," Cordy said, nodding.John laughed hoarsely, a hint of self-depreciation laced in his voice.The atmosphere plunged into a sudden silence, and the air was heavy.The two sat in silence for a long time.It seemed like their conversation had ended.Cordy opened the car door to leave, but John suddenly reached out to grasp her wrist with such force that it felt like he was going to crush her bones.However, she didn't cry out in pain.She simply

    Cordy didn't reply.Sometimes, silence really could replace everything."I didn't mean to hide the fact that I was the man who slept with you when you were eighteen," John admitted. "I asked you before if you hated him, and you said yes. I thought I’d tell you when our relationship was more stable, when you no longer rejected physical contact with me. Maybe... Just maybe, you’d be able to accept my presence."Cordy listened quietly, not interrupting him at all. And so, John went on. "At that time, I had just returned from abroad and was drinking with Bob and a few other friends. At the bar, I saw you while you were delirious. A man approached you, and you tried to refuse him. I went up to you two and pushed him away, and then you leaned against me. You felt hot to touch. I admit that I took you to a hotel, but where else was I going to take you? I didn't know, and you were burning up. I asked you, but you didn't say anything. After that, when we reached the hotel, you pushed me on

    "After that, the fire broke out and you were trapped in it. I saw Kyle saving Noel and leaving you behind," John said with pursed lips. "I rushed in and got you out."Cordy was surprised at that revelation. She had always assumed a fireman had saved her, as she vaguely remembered her savior was dressed in a fireman's uniform."I grabbed a helmet from a fireman near me. I was afraid I’d choke on the smoke and die before I could get to you," John explained as if he could read her mind.Cordy looked down. She suddenly remembered the first time she had seen John in the hospital, and how his wrists were heavily bandaged. "You've explained a lot..." Cordy turned to look at John, her eyes reverting back to their usual coldness. "Why did you treat me so kindly? We were just strangers who met by chance, and I've done many things to hurt you. Why would you like me?"Cordy couldn't believe him.It was hard for her to trust anyone.She laughed softly and continued, "Don't say something lik

    "I did it to cope with the current situation!" John argued, somewhat agitatedly. "My resistance only worsens things, especially when I don't have the power to go against my grandfather!""Then what makes you think you can convince me that it’ll change in just six months?"Her retort dumbfounded John. There was nothing he could say that could convince her, all the more so when his actions couldn't prove otherwise."Perhaps my doubts aren’t because you're not capable of it," Cordy said, "but because I don't love you enough. So, it's best for us to separate now while our relationship hasn't gotten deep enough."Cordy pushed open the car door again.Seriously, enough was enough.She didn't want to be involved with him any longer."You can take the car. Just have Walter drive it back to me when he has time."Cordy got out of the car and left with confident steps. As far as she was concerned, she and John would forget about each other, and that was the end of it.But as she walked i

    Cordy hadn't pressed any of the buttons on the elevator either, so it was still stuck on the underground car park floor.Zoe, who was standing there, was shocked when the doors opened.Coming back in the early hours of the morning was scary enough, and the sudden loud noise from the elevator was almost enough to send her running back from where she came from. She stared at the couple in the elevator, petrified.It was only when the elevator let out a beep that Zoe returned to her senses. She hurriedly retreated and said, "C-Carry on! I didn't see anything!"And then the doors slid close.That was scary as hell!John and Cordy were actually inside the elevator, and...After calming down, Zoe suddenly realized that Cordy had been crying. John wouldn't have... forced himself on her, right?!With that thought in mind, she hurriedly pressed the elevator button again, watching anxiously as the numbers came down.Inside the elevator, John roughly shoved Cordy back into her clothes.

    John kept his head hung low and didn't respond to Zoe for a long time. For a moment, Zoe thought he had fallen asleep. After all, it was four in the morning. She had just returned from an outstation announcement, and was also very sleepy. Just as she thought that, John slowly raised his head and replied, "Let's go."Wait, really? She had only offered to be nice. More than anything, she wanted to burrow under the warm covers of her bed right now.Regardless, Zoe followed John out for a late-night snack.They chose a small street store. The good thing was that there wasn't anyone else around at such a late hour, and she was so heavily armed that no one recognized her."John, shouldn't you drink less?" Zoe said, trying to discourage him from drinking too much.She couldn't sit idly and watch as her cousin drowned himself in alcohol ever since he sat down.So many dishes were before him, but he hadn't even touched his utensils. It wouldn't be strange if he got alcohol poisoning fro

    John tightened his grip on the wine glass after listening to Zoe's words. "To be honest, even though you're my cousin, I really think you don't deserve Cordy. She's had such tragic experiences in her past, and when she finally managed to gain her confidence and fall in love again, this person dealt a fatal blow to her. I can't even imagine how much she's hurting right now! I'm worried she won't ever dare to love anyone again," Zoe said, obviously troubled.Cordy was clearly a wonderful woman, so why was God so cruel to her?She suffered terrible blows one after another."I was only..." John trailed off and put down his glass, hanging his head low. "Afraid that she would leave."How could he not be afraid? After she had experienced so much, what would happen if she did close off her heart, then turned around and left? Of course he was afraid of those things happening!He also knew that the solution to this problem between him and Cordy was to break off his engagement with Jessica

    Soon, another nurse emerged from the delivery room with a small bundle. "Is the mother's family here?""Yes!" John exclaimed loudly."The delivery was successful," the nurse said. "The baby weighs eight pounds—""How is she?" John asked in agitation, not caring about the child."She's fine. The doctor is just helping her clean up and she'll be out soon," the nurse replied.As John breathed a sigh of relief, the nurse reminded him, "Aren't you the father? Here's your child."John took the baby off her arms, staring at her for a moment as the others flocked around him. "Oh, she's so fair!" Zoe could not help exclaiming. "That's the most beautiful baby I've ever seen.""Are you saying that your son's ugly?" Bob teased."To be honest, yeah," Zoe replied without thinking.Jay cleared his throat—even if it was a subjective opinion, it still hurt to have his own baby called ugly."Let me carry her," Zoe volunteered just then, and John did not hesitate to hand her his baby.As Zoe

    "What?!" Zoe exclaimed in shock.Beside them, John's face fell despite being usually stoic.Still, even before anyone could react, he scooped Cordy up in his arms and left.Zoe did not hesitate to follow, but Jay reminded her, "We're the hosts, Zoe.""Don't care." Zoe was completely unconcerned. "Ask my mom and your sister to handle the guests. I'm going with Cordy!"Jay hesitated for a moment before deciding to follow since there was no reasoning with Zoe.Sam and Quinn also realized that something was out of place.As they pulled away reluctantly, Bob shouted from below, "If you're done kissing, we're going to the hospital! Cordy's going into labor!"Quinn hurried after them as soon as she hurt, but Sam caught her. "Slow down. We can catch up."In fact, most of the guests were leaving as well—it was as if the banquet for Zoe's son was actually intended for everyone else.The poor boy was certainly unlucky to have such unreliable parents!-As everyone rushed to the hospit

    "I'm swelling from my pregnancy," Quinn explained. "It's not your fault."Sam was left staring at her for a while before asking, "So, what should I do?""I'll put it on when I slim down.""Oh." Sam was a little disappointed, since he had always dreamed of having her put on the ring he had custom made.But this was fine—they had all the time they needed, and the most important thing for him is that Quinn was marrying him!He rose to his feet just then, and everyone was cheering as soon as he did. "Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!"Quinn blushed right then, and Sam could see that she was embarrassed.He did not want to make things awkward for her, even if he was quite eager at the moment.Heaven knows how much he missed that night's drunken fumble they had. In fact, during the times he remembered it in dreams, he had to wash his pants when he woke up.Still, just as he took Quinn's hand and started to leave, he felt a softness on his lips—Quinn was kissing him! Sam's heart pounded thunderous

    Everyone waited patiently for the final outcome.Quinn's eyes were welling up with tears, threatening to gush if she so much as blinked.She did her best to hold back her tears—to be strong!Sam pursed his lips in turn, his Adam's apple bobbing.A long while passed, and it felt like a century for Quinn when she finally heard him say, "Yes."Quinn's tears started falling in happiness as Sam declared loudly, "I'll marry you, Quinn—it's what I've always wanted to do! I won't let you go even if you regret it eventually! You only get to be with me, and I'll never let any other man claim you! I'll become very overbearing… eventually!""I won't regret it," Quinn said, determined.She certainly would not regret marrying him!Zoe walked up to them with perfect timing just then, and Sam did a double take.He finally remembered that Zoe was the host of this luncheon and was going to leave with Quinn when Zoe whipped out a small red velvet box."You know what's in here, don't you?" Zoe a

    However, Sam had already pushed Quinn away before she could tell him. But even if he did not love her or did not want to be with her, she would never stay with Ryan.She had been disappointed in Sam, wondering why he would give up so easily.Was she that unimportant to him?Therefore, if it were not for Zoe and Cordy showing her that video or telling her so much, she would never have known that he loved her for years…Sam's heart ached even as he looked into Quinn's tearful eyes.He reached out a hand, but soon withdrew it—would he not burden her?Even so, it hurt to restrain himself as he watched her, and he was actually getting the feeling that Quinn loved him…But she already had Ryan's child…Well, he was fine with that, as long as the child was Quinn's.But would she not mind?"I will marry you, Sam," Quinn said slowly and clearly then. "Not because you're a good man, not because you prepared so much for me, and not because of how much you prepared for me, but because I

    Everyone in the hall was staring at Sam and Quinn, while Quinn took center stage, staring fixedly at Sam.He stood in the middle of the crowd, watching her silently.She in turn felt fear that he would turn and leave, just as she did not know if she had the courage to stand before him again and to declare her feelings for him in front of so many others.Nonetheless, amid the deafening silence, Sam suddenly walked toward the stage.His pace was slow as if his feet were made of lead, but he was also unusually determined.Quinn's heart raced uncontrollably right then!Everyone else was watching them nervously, especially Cordy and Zoe, with the latter being especially concerned that the cowardly Sam would bail.Fortunately, he was a man who showed responsibility. He would not leave Quinn alone and embarrassed.Hence, as everyone looked on, Sam stood before Quinn, his gaze flickering as their eyes met.He gulped ever so slightly, his emotions clearly ruffled even as he did his bes

    The guests were encouraging, loudly asking, "Why?!""Because of a woman," Sam's recording replied."Who is it?""Quinn Summer," the Sam on the screen said slowly and clearly, leaving the Sam who was in the hall stunned.What the hell?! That was the proposal video he prepared before! Why did it show up here? Did Zoe make a mistake?!He knew it—leave anything to Zoe, and she would mess it up!He started striding toward the stage, intent on stopping the recording, when John and Bob intercepted him with a look of utter guilt while the recording continued. "Quinn is my wife, and we've been married for years, but I've never really loved her—not because I don't, but because I'm afraid to. I feel too insignificant in comparison to the one she loves, so I'd always hurt her… painfully and childishly. I regret that so much now, Quinn. How could I have abandoned you for so long because of my own jealousy? I'd rather hold you in my sleep every night, but my damned pride denied me that for y

    At the banquet hall, Jay and Zoe were thanking their guests with their children in their arms.Then, Zoe announced excitedly, "Please give my best friend, who is also my son's godmother, a warm applause as she comes on stage!"Sam stood at a corner of the hall, watching as Quinn walked up the stage, only realizing just then that her belly was clearly swelling despite her baggy clothes.Time flies—he had not left that long ago, but she and Ryan already had a child.She was not worried about giving him a stroke, was she?He watched as Quinn took the mic and looked around below searching, seemingly searching.After a while, he thought she was looking at him, but by the time he looked up, she had already turned away.Maybe she was looking for Ryan before remembering that Ryan was not there?Nonetheless, Quinn spoke into the mic, saying, "I'm honored to be chosen as the godmother to Zoe's son, and she's been saying he'd be engaged to my child if it's a girl. I already love my godson

    As their eyes met, Sam turned frantic and averted his. "Of course.""Really?" Quinn asked."Would I lie to you?" Sam asked a little grumpily."And you didn't bring her back?" Quinn asked."I'm on a schedule, and it'd be taxing for her if I bought her along," Sam said, making things up as he went along. "I'll bring her along when things are less busy.""Is she pretty?" Quinn pressed."What, have I ever picked an ugly one?" Sam snorted smugly. "You know I prefer curvaceous types, and there are plenty of those abroad.""Do you have a photo?"Sam was silent for a while and eventually said, "Yeah.""Can I see it?""What, does she have to pass your assessment?""Just curious about the girl who can tempt you to settle down," Quinn replied. "You'd be humbled." Sam hastily came up with an excuse."I won't," Quinn said, determined."You'll see her when I bring her home." Sam refused nonetheless."I would like to see a photo now.""No, she's not that photogenic. It'd be slander a
